As a result of this system, film ratings revolve mainly around children, who many feel are too impressionable to be exposed to such graphic content. When submitted to the Motion Picture Association Ratings Board films can expect to be fall under one of four potential ratings. General Audiences, or G rated films, are films that are deemed suitable for all audience members, regardless of age. Many G rated films are, in an unsurprising

what was okay and what was not okay to put in films. There was no official censorship to undergo of any movie being released at the time of Kazan’s film adaptation. However, the producers had volunteered for investigation by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and CLD (Catholic Legion of Decency). CLD however strictly forbid showing such content like Allan’s sexual preference in action. MPAA had been known as the Hays Office. The name Hays comes from the first president of the office in

English 122 12-1-11 The Current Rating System in the United States The current content rating system in use for film, the MPAA, is the only content rating system that is legally enforced in the United States. For this reason, the system has caused controversy. Many have claimed that the system is unbalanced, as the MPAA bases the level of appropriate content for all people in the United States off of the opinions of an unidentified council of people over the age of forty (Jenkins).

Before a film is released, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) sets strict guidelines for the rating of the film, thoroughly reviewed to make sure that it is appropriate for the intended audience. Depending on the severity of the content, the film is rated. Descriptions are listed about why the film received a particular rating. With these ratings in place, one can easier decide if they wish to view the film. These ratings help parents know what their children are watching. Parents often

This system is supposed to help determine whether a movie is deemed appropriate for different age levels, but most of the age groups are quite broad and how a person views the level of appropriateness can be biased. The current rating system was created in 1968, which replaced the original

When we think of high school dropout we automatically start thinking, “Wow, that must’ve been some druggie.” Now what would you say if he dropped out to pursue a dream of his? Would you change your mind? What if he lied on his résumé to ‘compensate for his lack of experience in the film industry’, would you hire him? He gathered all of his knowledge while working at The Manhattan Beach Video Archives. There, he was able to work on some of his earlier scripts such as, True Romance (1993), and Natural

In order for us to stop the constant bombardment of uninspired adaptations, sequels, prequels, remakes, and reboots we need to create a new rating system, one which doesn’t stifle the creativity of talented filmmakers by slapping their films with arbitrary ratings. This new rating system would also abolish the supervisory role for movie theaters. The rule that kids must be accompanied by a “parent or adult guardian” to an R-rated film is based on the notion that a 14-year old can be “shielded” from

gun violence than “R” rated movies”(Briganti n.pag.). A movie with a lower rating, a larger audience, and younger children, should not contain more weapons and violence than a movie for a more mature audience. The MPAA, which is the Motion Picture American Association, categorizes viewers into 3 broad age ranges: 0-13, 13-17, and 17- over.
